What’s all the Buzz at Google? [First Look]

What’s all the Buzz at Google? [First Look]

Posted on10. Feb, 2010 by zevmo.

Today, the tech universe has been blogging about Buzz, a new Dr. Moreau synergistic (I had to put that word in) evolution to Twitter, Google Wave, GMail, Facebook Wall, and FourSquare.  On paper, it seems like a really great idea.  So, is it?
My first impressions are relatively positive.  This service will definitely get better.  But I [...]

Google [HTC] Nexus One ads taking on Apple strategy

Google [HTC] Nexus One ads taking on Apple strategy

Posted on08. Feb, 2010 by zevmo.

Using advertising techniques reminiscent of post-release Apple products, Google crafted a set of YouTube videos touting the Nexus One Mobile smart phone.  These videos are exceptionally well done, and are quite convincing.
After a week engagement with an HTC  myTouch (Android OS 1.6), I would have been a little hesitant to even try another Android phone.  [...]

Disney’s Mobile Magic application- the future for WDW guests?

Posted on20. Nov, 2009 by zevmo.

Last week, Disney Parks Blog gave some wonderful screenshots of their new Mobile Magic Application. The concept is this, if you are a Verizon Wireless subscriber, you can download the application for $9.99, that’s good for 180 days. And for a limited time (I assume until January, while they are stretching the app’s [...]

Commute home- Brooklyn to Teaneck

Posted on20. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.

(2:52pm) Jay Street is under construction.  I feel like I work at Home Depot… and it doesn’t bother me.
A little more crowded now, but you should see it at 5-6.
Ahhh, new tile. Now I feel like I am in a shower. Where is my rubber ducky?
(2:54pm) On the A train back [...]

Juniper EX 8208 unbox and install

Posted on20. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.

It’s here!  Like Christmas morning, all over again… but for really expensive toys that I don’t own but just work on.  Oh, it’s the same thing.
Heavy out of the box b/c it has the power units installed out of the box.  Really slick looking design.  Quite a design difference and departure from the [...]

The Morning Commute- Teaneck to Brooklyn

Posted on20. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.

I thought it would be a little fun to make a video log of my commute to/from Brooklyn. Nothing of consequence happened on the way, this morning, but there is always fun in seeing the very slow and worn system that gets us where we need to go everyday.
The morning starts at 5:20am. Waiting for [...]

Question: Should I switch from the Cablevision Scientific Atlanta 8300HD to a Tivo DVR?

Question: Should I switch from the Cablevision Scientific Atlanta 8300HD to a Tivo DVR?

Posted on14. Sep, 2009 by zevmo.

I am one of the lucky few who is trapped into Cablevision’s service plan.  Where I live in Northern NJ, we have lots of trees (Dish/DirecTV is out), and we are in a part of town that has no Verizon FiOS b/c of a crappy Englewood Central Office upgrade that has been taking forever.  Alas, [...]

Apple, you need to hire an in-house crank

Apple, you need to hire an in-house crank

Posted on10. Aug, 2009 by zevmo.

I am an Apple fanboy.  I admit it.
However, it doesn’t change my abilty to desire more from the company that I love.  As we in the tech community all know, Apple tends to go it’s own path, shall we say, when it comes to products.
For instance, the company makes it’s own hardware and software.  This [...]
